what_o the_o representer_n deliver_v as_o to_o those_o very_a point_n be_v according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o see_v apostolic_a of_o the_o great_a prelate_n nay_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o whole_a church_n the_o papist_n misrepresent_v and_o represent_v stand_v untouched_a and_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v against_o it_o have_v be_v nothing_o more_o than_o so_o many_o artificial_a

answer_v after_o his_o manner_n with_o a_o smile_n what_o the_o replier_n add_v after_o this_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o representer_n who_o be_v to_o represent_v and_o not_o to_o dispute_v be_v not_o concern_v with_o those_o tedious_a argument_n however_o not_o to_o be_v uncivil_a we_o will_v go_v so_o far_o with_o he_o though_o it_o be_v out_o of_o our_o way_n 1._o he_o prove_v at_o large_a that_o all_o definition_n of_o faith_n declare_v in_o general_a council_n be_v not_o conclude_v with_o anathema_n and_o in_o this_o we_o willing_o agree_v with_o he_o 51._o but_o this_o do_v not_o at_o all_o prove_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v declare_v in_o such_o a_o council_n without_o a_o anathema_n be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o against_o we_o deserve_v any_o far_a answer_n 2._o he_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v the_o depose_v power_n not_o to_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o discipline_n and_o government_n but_o to_o 53._o be_v a_o point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o this_o from_o a_o principle_n late_o publish_v in_o the_o vindication_n of_o dr._n sherlock_n sermon_n viz._n that_o to_o decree_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v includ_v a_o virtual_a definition_n of_o that_o doctrine_n on_o which_o that_o decree_n be_v found_v and_o this_o he_o say_v as_o we_o have_v be_v late_o tell_v but_o what_o respect_n can_v i_o possible_o have_v for_o what_o have_v be_v late_o tell_v we_o by_o another_o hand_n since_o the_o replier_n himself_o however_o he_o urge_v it_o in_o one_o page_n plain_o undervalue_v it_o and_o contradict_v it_o in_o his_o very_a next_o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o in_o the_o council_n of_o 55._o the_o apostle_n at_o jerusalem_n there_o be_v a_o decree_n of_o manner_n yet_o it_o contain_v no_o definition_n of_o faith_n and_o for_o my_o part_n i_o think_v the_o reply_o in_o the_o right_n and_o must_v needs_o stand_v with_o he_o against_o the_o vindicator_n of_o the_o sermon_n that_o to_o decree_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v do_v not_o include_v a_o virtual_a definition_n of_o doctrine_n and_o the_o example_n produce_v by_o the_o reply_o evident_o show_v it_o for_o though_o the_o apostle_n in_o their_o council_n act_n 15._o decree_v abstinence_n from_o blood_n and_o strangle_v meat_n yet_o this_o decree_n of_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v do_v not_o include_v a_o virtual_a definition_n of_o that_o doctrine_n on_o which_o the_o decree_n be_v found_v for_o if_o it_o have_v than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o abstain_v from_o blood_n and_o strangle_a meat_n have_v be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v not_o agreeable_a either_o to_o the_o principle_n or_o practice_n of_o either_o of_o our_o church_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v because_o decree_n of_o what_o shall_v be_v do_v be_v often_o make_v with_o relation_n to_o particular_a circumstance_n of_o time_n person_n place_n etc._n etc._n and_o not_o build_v upon_o definition_n of_o faith_n but_o upon_o prudential_n motive_n upon_o probable_a opinion_n upon_o the_o testimony_n and_o information_n of_o man_n and_o so_o may_v be_v suspend_v or_o quite_o abrogate_a as_o also_o confirm_v a_o new_a or_o whole_o change_v according_a to_o the_o alteration_n of_o circumstance_n nothing_o of_o all_o which_o can_v stand_v with_o article_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o indispensable_a doctrine_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o change_v or_o alteration_n 3._o but_o suppose_v this_o decree_n to_o be_v rank_v only_o among_o the_o decreta_fw-la morum_fw-la which_o concern_v only_o the_o discipline_n 54._o and_o government_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o our_o adversary_n here_o urge_v out_o of_o canus_n and_o bellarmine_n that_o general_a council_n can_v err_v even_o in_o such_o decree_n when_o they_o relate_v to_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n and_o concern_v the_o whole_a church_n and_o when_o the_o replier_n have_v prove_v the_o depose_v decree_n to_o be_v of_o this_o nature_n and_o

man_n do_v such_o action_n as_o be_v idolatrous_a how_o can_v the_o intention_n excuse_v they_o from_o idolatry_n so_o that_o by_o this_o way_n of_o reason_v he_o can_v never_o throw_v we_o down_o but_o we_o must_v fall_v both_o together_o for_o though_o the_o sacrament_n or_o the_o altar_n be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o commandment_n yet_o since_o the_o external_n action_n of_o adoration_n be_v a_o religious_a and_o divine_a worship_n according_a to_o the_o replier_n principle_n before_o establish_v the_o bow_v down_o and_o kneel_v to_o they_o can_v be_v excuse_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o constructive_a idolatry_n and_o whatsoever_o hole_n the_o replier_n can_v possible_o find_v to_o get_v out_o at_o with_o his_o altar_n the_o representer_n will_v easy_o follow_v he_o at_o the_o same_o with_o his_o image_n but_o that_o the_o replier_n may_v see_v how_o far_o his_o argument_n conclude_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v whether_o a_o quaker_n may_v not_o as_o reasonable_o make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o for_o the_o justify_v his_o yea_n and_o his_o nay_n and_o his_o other_o point_n of_o quakerism_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v no_o intention_n can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o action_n which_o be_v determine_v by_o a_o 24._o divine_a or_o humane_a law_n but_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o neither_o 10._o be_v you_o call_v master_n and_o let_v your_o communication_n be_v yea_o yea_o nay_o nay_o be_v action_n or_o thing_n determine_v 37._o by_o the_o divine_a law_n therefore_o the_o intention_n of_o do_v no_o evil_a in_o they_o can_v excuse_v the_o do_v otherwise_o then_o be_v there_o determine_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n this_o have_v equal_a force_n from_o a_o quaker_n as_o from_o a_o reply_o and_o make_v evident_a that_o the_o same_o argument_n which_o persuade_v to_o a_o reformation_n from_o popery_n do_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n plead_v still_o for_o a_o far_a reformation_n thus_o far_o have_v i_o follow_v the_o reply_o beyond_o my_o business_n of_o represent_v and_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v so_o far_o oblige_v he_o in_o it_o that_o however_o he_o have_v question_v my_o honesty_n he_o will_v not_o at_o least_o now_o call_v i_o vncivil_a before_o i_o take_v my_o leave_n i_o will_v be_v so_o free_a as_o to_o offer_v he_o a_o request_n or_o two_o which_o will_v not_o be_v think_v unreasonable_a i_o hope_v since_o he_o himself_o have_v put_v they_o into_o my_o mouth_n 1._o that_o he_o will_v use_v his_o interest_n with_o protestant_n to_o hold_v to_o what_o he_o say_v they_o do_v and_o charge_v we_o with_o nothing_o but_o what_o we_o express_o profess_v to_o believe_v and_o practice_n 2._o that_o they_o pick_v not_o up_o the_o abuse_n of_o some_o the_o vice_n and_o cruelty_n of_o other_o the_o odd_a opinion_n of_o particular_a author_n and_o hold_v these_o forth_o for_o the_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o our_o church_n and_o that_o in_o charge_v any_o practice_n they_o charge_v they_o upon_o no_o more_o than_o be_v concern_v 3._o that_o as_o often_o as_o they_o tell_v what_o they_o think_v of_o our_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n they_o will_v likewise_o at_o the_o same_o time_n inform_v their_o hearer_n that_o those_o thought_n be_v as_o the_o replier_n say_v opinion_n interpretation_n and_o consequence_n of_o their_o own_o concern_v our_o doctrine_n and_o not_o our_o avow_v doctrine_n but_o that_o we_o think_v as_o ill_o of_o those_o crime_n which_o they_o charge_v as_o they_o themselves_o do_v and_o that_o we_o our_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n be_v as_o free_v from_o they_o as_o they_o think_v of_o their_o own_o and_o that_o in_o this_o consist_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o these_o be_v but_o very_o reasonable_a request_n i_o think_v and_o what_o every_o man_n may_v very_o well_o expect_v from_o his_o christian_a neighbour_n they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o favour_n as_o duty_n and_o what_o every_o one_o who_o understand_v that_o golden_a rule_n of_o do_v as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v by_o will_v comply_v with_o without_o long_a entreaty_n this_o be_v desire_v by_o those_o of_o the_o reformation_n too_o who_o require_v in_o their_o synod_n of_o dort_n that_o none_o
